Hi guys,
First post, sorry if this is a dumb question or has been posted elsewhere. I've searched everywhere possible for an answer before posting this so please be gentle.
To get the thing setup I went through all the FAQ's on the internet and finally got it working as guided - the XMBC wiki is great I must add and is a huge help! It's now working great too except for one little problem I can't get my head around.
Some files (2 of the 10 i've tried so far) don't really play nicely with the XMBC. Once clicking play on the file the movie will start for 1-2 seconds max and then drop straight back to the main Apple TV menu (not the XMBC menu).
FYI my setup is ATV2 > ethernet > NB6PLUS4W router > ReadyNAS Duo.
I've tried to pull up logs to post along with this but can't for the life of me figure out how to access them. If anyone can guide me to how to access the ATV2's file structure ill happily post the logs too.
Also, the videos play back perfectly on my macbook or through my PS3 so it's unlikely to be the fault of the media.
Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated. This minor hiccup is stopping me from having what would otherwise be a perfect setup. If I can't get this sorted I might have to revert to playing back my media on the PS3, which I don't want now that i've tasted XMBC
Cheers
